A FRONT MOWER FOR MOUNTING ON A FRONT THREE POINT LINKAGE OF A TRACTOR

摘要

A front mower for mounting on a front three point linkage of a tractor to be operated for cutting vegetation, such as grass, in front of the tractor, the mower comprising: (i) a headstock for mounting on the front three point linkage of the tractor; (ii) a mowing head comprising an array of cutting heads for cutting vegetation such as grass, mounted on and moveable relative to the headstock to follow the contours of the ground over which the mower is passing; (iii) a mounting mechanism mounting the mowing head to the headstock, wherein the mounting mechanism comprises a cutting angle adjustment mechanism comprising an arc shaped guide and a follower for the arc shaped guide, the follower being moveable back and forth along the arc shaped guide, so that the cutting angle adjustment mechanism allows the mowing head to move back and forth along an arc defined by the guide and relative to the headstock so as to vary the cutting angle of the cutting heads. This allows for free movement of the mowing head to follow the contours of the ground.
